Aftermarket camshafts any good?

[nddragon01]

Well, I guess the title says it all...

I was wondering if anyone has opinions on the aftermarket cams out there. Anyone had aftermarket cams installed? Was there a noticeable increase in HP/Torque? Were they tunable by the PCIII, or are there maps out there for performance cams? Do you think it's a worthy mod?

And along the same note, which ones are out there and which are the good ones, which are the bad ones?

Bigbore or stock...?

I had the Megacycle 385 cams installed on a stock engine and was very happy with them. BDE exhaust and cams I produced 175.5 HP and 99.3 of Torque.

Bigbore or stock...?

Stock 1299cc.

Planning on exhaust, air filter, pcIII, etc. in the future.  Curious if adding this mod to the list is worth it.  Ones i found are schnitz (sp?) and yoshimura.  Any others out there better?

I've also heard of putting a stock intake cam on the exhaust side...any thoughts on that??

I have the BDE exhaust cam with APE adjustable sprockets. It was worth the money for me and i just couldn't make myself spend the extra on a complete drop in set for just a couple more HP. You will need to get them degreed in and i would recommend a custom map either way you decide to go.

I have the BDE exhaust cam with APE adjustable sprockets.

It's almost the same as the "stock" intake cam (.348 vs .345 )
Putting an intake cam on the exhaust side would have been cheaper,

Yes it would have been a bit cheaper but i had a credit balance with Brock and the tech support you get from them is second to none.
